Abstract
Description
- Tizanidine, 5-chloro-N-(4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-2,1,3-benzothia-diazol-4-amine, is a α2-adrenergic agonist structurally related to clonidine. It is a centrally acting skeletal muscle relaxant that acts mainly at spinal and supraspinal levels to inhibit excitatory interneurones. It is indicated for the symptomatic relief of spasticity associated with multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injury or disease or painful muscle spasm.
- The compound tizanidine, as hydrochloride, is included in Japan and US Pharmacopoeias and it is approved and marketed worldwide, as base, in the form of 2 or 4 mg tablets. As such, tizanidine is usually well and rapidly absorbed by oral route, but it undergoes extensive first-pass effect which inactivates metabolites. The pharmacokinetic profile of tizanidine, Tmax 1-2h, T1/2z 1-2h, suggested to perform slow-release dosage forms as in
US 2008 0214629A1 orWO 2008 047208A1 , but, on the other hand, the entity of the first-pass effect, suggested to replace oral absorption with different routes of administration. - Are known in the art patent documents which describe pharmaceutical formulations containing tizanidine: trans-dermal formulations are described in

The aim of these documents is to increase the onset of action of tizanidine as well as its bioavailability and to reduce the relative hepatic first-pass effect. - Pharmacological papers reported the administration of tizanidine by intramuscular (IM) or intrathecal route to assess its mechanism of action and compare its potency with standard drugs (J.
